Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 84(5): 488-492 (1991) ABSTRACT The flight period of the western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, was investigated in Utah tart cherry, Prunus cerasus L., orchards from 1983 to 1989 and in Washington sweet cherry, Prunus avium L., orchards between 1982 and 1988. In Utah, flies were first detected on 31 May 1989, but the average time of first detection was 9...

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is an important fruit crop in which fruit size is strongly associated with commercial value; few genes associated with fruit size have, however, been identified in sweet cherry. Members of the CYP78A subfamily, a group of important cytochrome P450s, have been found to be involved in controlling seed size and development in Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, soybean, and ...

We conducted SSR analyses of 59 accessions, including 29 traditional plum (Prunus domestica), 24 sweet cherry (Prunus avium), and 1 sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) selected from East Anatolian gene sources and 3 plum and 2 cherry reference accessions for molecular characterization and investigation of genetic relationships. Eight SSR loci [1 developed from the apricot (UDAp-404), 4 from the peach ...

Wild cherry (Prunus avium L, syn. Cerasus L. Moench.) is a widely spread forest tree that has ecological and economical importance. However, the genetic diversity of this species threatened for many reasons. Therefore, breeding conservation program should be established in order to minimise loss diversity. In study, we aimed understand structure 440 individual wild cherries sampled from 22 diff...

As spring frost proves to be an increasing risk throughout Slovenia and Europe, a better assessment of is needed. The statistical approach presented in this article consists the conditional probability that last occurs before budburst or flowering. analysis was conducted using two separate phenological models data various grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), apple (Malus domestica), sweet cherry (Pru...

Prunus avium L. (sweet cherry) is one of the most appreciated fruit due to its organoleptic and nutritional value. Interestingly, cherry leaves, stems, flowers are agri-food by-products rich in bioactive compounds that mostly still unexploited. Stems leaves have been used folk medicine since ancient times. Recently, also proved be an interesting source with therapeutic properties. Phenolic comp...

Endophytic fungi constitute a remarkable multifarious group of microorganisms live within plants tissues without causing any obvious negative effect. Endophytic fungi have been found in every plant species examined to date. During an investigation on endophytic fungi, 123 fungal isolates were obtained from healthy twigs and leaves of cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (P. cerasus) trees in I...
